Contract Drafting Best Practices

Summary

When drafting contracts, hereinafter referred to as is more commonly used and formal than hereinafter called. In consultancy and service agreements, avoid referring to the client as an employer to prevent confusion and legal implications. Use terms like Client or Customer instead. The phrase All documents forming the Contract are intended to be correlative, complementary, and mutually explanatory is clear and appropriate.
